It has been expected for some days past, that Mr. O'Connell will lose his scat for the City of Dublin, and that Air. Hamilton will be substituted : and while I write it is doubtful whether Mr. Ruthven's death may not have occa sioned the necessity of an immediate election. The latter circumstance is not within the control of human wishes ; but that Dan should be unsuccessful in maintaining his ground, as Representative of the metropolis of Ireland, against an opponent not known for his public or other vir tues to more than one twentieth of the population, is the strongest proof that:can be given of the necessity of Corpo rate Reform. Surprise, disappointment, delight, and in dignation pervade the minds of the different parties amongst ' us. It is not too much, however, to say, that indignation is the more universal feeling, even among those who were not very sanguine as to O'Connell's success from the com mencement. That an individual so distinguished, and be loved by his country men of almost every class as he is' should be superseded by one who, however respectable, is not known beyond the family circle, is looked upon as a na tional disgrace ; and it is felt the more sensibly, as it is the result of that bribery and corruption so notorious among the ascendancy and corporate factions in Ireland. These sentiments were strongly manifested at a respectable meet ing of the Liberal party held here yesterday, when resolu tions were passed, and subscriptions entered into, for the purpose of unseating the substituted Member or Members, on account of notorious bribery and corruption. Since the arrival of Saturday's London news, another topic occupies the attention of the people of Ireland. Some disappointment is felt in many quarters at the postponement of the Irish Tithe Bill till the 25th of next month, as the interval will, no doubt, be employed by one party in dis turbing the country ; while the honest tithe-owner, who has been long expecting an adjustment of the question, is de prived of his rights so much longer. The number of bills filed in the Exchequer is very great, and the usual time for answering having, in many instances, expired, the " Lay Association" will avail themselves of the omission, to excite trouble, bloodshed, and disturbance by issuing more writs of Rebellion. They may succeed in provoking some breaches of the peace ; but as to the recovery of the value of tithes, it is hopeless under existing laws. The great majority of the people will not pay anything in lieu of that detested im post until the Le g i s l a t ure s h a ll have taken further proceed ings, in conformity with the spirit of Stanley's Act, passed fbur years ago. That Act rendered general and compul sory the principle of Goulburn's Act, passed nine years be fore, and held forth the promise of the extinction of tithes altogether. The words of the preamble are—" And whereas it is expedient that a fixed and permanent composition in lieu of tithes should, with a view to the future commutation thereof, be generally established," &c. Here the word " commutation" has been understood to mean " extinction" of the name of tithes altogether, as was expressed in the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman who first announced the Bill. And, as this law was extorted from Earl Grey's Government by the irresistible arguments of the late Doctor Doyle, and the universal voice of the people, demanding a change in the obnoxious system ; and as it contains a pledge on the part of the Legislature not to stop at " composition," but to proceed to " commutation," the people have been ever since under the expectation of having the " composi tion" very soon extinguished, or commuted for some other payment less onerous and insulting. It is a tax upon capital and industry ; and has been, for the last century, the source of every evil—producing at one time prmdial agitation, at another rebellion and bloodshed, and always distracting and barbarising the poorer inhabitants of the land. Such effects have been admitted by every Government, Whig or Tory, that ruled the destinies of Ireland during the last fifteen years at least ; and many unsuccessful efforts have been made from the passing of Goulburn's Act, in 1823, to the present year, to remedy such a disastrous state of things, but the Tory power has thwarted or delayed the most salutary measures of relief. Lord Morpeth's Bill of last Session, notwithstanding its appropriation clauses, offered better terms to the Church Establishment than it will get, if the settlement be much longer deferred. The more steady portion of our politicians think that Government are pro bably actuated by very prudential motives in this delay ; and, placing unbounded confidence in Earl Mulgrave's and Lord Morpeth's discretion, expect a measure of justice pro portionate to the time spent in acquiring it. At the same time, they feel that the ultra-Tory party in this country are not to be mitigated by any conciliatory policy or con cession whatsoever ; and that procrastination with such a view can produce nothin g but disappointment to the nation, and perhaps great miscilief to a reforming Administration. hy t'cl°ll Lew.—The citizens of Dublin have been informed, d 8 Public advertisement, of a meeting, convened for Tues- ,',. l, 'leXt by the Lord Mayor, in the upper rooms of the Royal 4 e " a nge.

The transaction is admirably calculated to show the enlightened and honest people of England, how a late dominant party think the affairs of this country ought to be conducted, and deserves the attention of the Liberal Press of England. HIS MAJESTY'S LEVEE. His Majesty held a Levee yesterday afternoon at St. James's.

THE SUN, LADON, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, i 836. LITERATURE. EDINBURGH CABINET LIBRARY. Oliver and Boyd. Edinburgh : 1836. The present volume of this popular miscellany, which is one of the best, if not the very best, of its kind, forms the first of a History of . China, which will be com pleted in three volumes. The materials are arranged with great care ; and an interesting abridgment is given of Lord Macartney's and Lord Amherst's memorable embassies to the Court of Pekin. Nor must we omit to notice in terms of praise the admirable map of China, and the numerous woodcuts with which the work is embellished. ANTIPATHY. 3 Vols. Macrone. London : 1836. There is some interest in the incidents of this story ; a few of the characters, too, are fairly enough pour traycd ; nor is the development of the plot, which is very simple, without ingenuity : but here our praise must stop, for the language of the tale throughout is such as it is impossible to commend, being in one place as slovenly, as in another it is stilted and ambi tions. The author seems perpetually haunted by a desire to show off his perfect familiarity with the Clas sics ; yet there is abundant evidence throughout his volumes, that he has but a distant acquaintance with them. He quotes Latin verse for instance, just as if it were prose, apparently riot knowing the difference be tween them ; and, in his Greek quotations is scarcely correct in one single case. No man who knew any thing of this last language could possibly have com mitted such a blunder as to use the word" Catanthrope" for a Cat-Hater ; the compound has actually no mean ing at all, but the author, in his ignorance of classical derivations, imagined that as Misanthrope meant a man-hater, so Catanthrope must mean a cat-hater. We should not have thought it worth our while to point. out these defects, had he not shown such an extreme anxiety to parade his classical attainments before the public. His three volumes are literally studded with mis-quotations. Scarce a chapter but abounds in them. PRACTICAL MERCANTILE CORRESPON DENCE. BY WILLIAM LIVDE'IISO2I% London : Effingham Tr iLcon, 1836. This is a work which ought to find a place in every Merchant's counting-house. A perfect knowledge of it is necessary to every man of business. It contains, besides an excellent collection of modern letters on mercantile affairs—forms of invoices, accounts, sales, bills of lading, and bills of exchange, together with a variety of other matters of detail, includ ing an explanation of the German Chain Rule,, as applicable to the calculations of exchanges. It is well adapted to the use of schools, and may be intro duced into public seminaries with very great advan tage to the rising generation. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The idol of the Standard (for our Contemporary's admiration, though violent for the time, is seldom long centred on any individual) is now Sir Richard Vyvyan. Mr. Hardy, Mr. Walter, and the Duke of Newcastle, have had their day, and Sir Richard is now in the as cendant. After a column of preparation, the Cornish Baronet is introduced with a prodigious flourish of trumpets. Sir Robert Peel having been dismissed, " Sir Richard Vyvyan," we are told, " followed with that tremendous attack for which we have tried to pre pare our readers. The speech of the Hon. Baronet was eloquent, as all his speeches are. But it was not to the eloquence of his speech alone that Lord John Russell was exposed. The weapon, however keen and strong, fell with tenfold force, supplied by the vigour of his noble character who launched it, and by the elevated position he assumed." After putting in the hands of the Hon. Baronet this keen and strong weapon, one naturally asks what he did with it ? No thing ! The crushing attack was like that of a drunken clown, who flourishes a cudgel about, by which his own head is chiefly endangered. Sir R. Peel, with some ingenuity, but most unconstitutionally, had endeavour ed to limit the range of the Crown's tight to nomi nate to the magistracy. But Sir Richard Vyvyan, with the fact staring him in the face, that Tory Lords Lieutenant had been named for almost every county, and that these Tory Lieutenants had recommended only men of their own party to the magistracy, chose to bluster about corrupt conduct and corrupt motives, because old Alderman Daniel, who deemed himself unfit for any public office on account of his loss of memory, was not named a magistrate of Bristol, and because Lord John Russell had appointed a number of most respectable gentlemen to the magistracy who were Reformers and not Tones. When a man uses big words without meaning, he only makes himself ridiculous ; and we confess we are rather surprised that any im portance was attached to the accusation of Sir Richard. If it was corrupt in Lord John Russell to name Re form magistrates in Bristol, it was corrupt in Tory Ministers to appoint Tory Lords Lieutenant through whom Tory magistrates were placed in the com mission. To be a Reformer may be a mighty sin in the eyes of the Hon. Member for Bristol ; but as Lord John Russell believes Reform princi ples conducive to the welfare of the country, he must naturally wish to give effect to them. Not one of the appointments was challenged on the ground of unfit ness ; and the charge of corrupt conduct as applied to the naming men fit in every respect to fill the situa tions to which they were appointed, is sheer nonsense. If Lord John Russell had sold the appointment for money or money's worth, for meal or malt, as the say ing is, Sir Richard could not have used stronger lan guage. So much for the crushing attack of the great idol of the day, Sir Richard Vyvyan. We almost re gret that the author of the saying which has acquired more than European celebrity, " May not a man do what he will with his own ?" and which Bishop Phill potts thinks, we understand, is the best illustration that has yet been given of the Christian maxim, " Do unto others as ye would that others should do unto you," no longer enjoys the favour of the Standard. Last night the Duke of Newcastle endeavoured to shew that the Papists had no right to arrogate to themselves an exclusive right to the Inquisition, as Protestants stood as much in need of persecu tion as Papists. In moving fo r cer t a i n re t urns relative to Roman Catholic establishments in this country, " the object lie had in view," he said, " was to call upon the House to do all in their power to pro tect the Protestant religion in this country against any open or insidious attacks that might be made on it." he Protestant religion is protected in this country by four millions a year of the public money paid to the clergy of the Established Church, by making its Prelates Lords of P ar li amen t, b y con fining University honours to members of that Church. In aid of the Establishment, thousands of Dissenting, and Methodist teachers exert their industry and ta lents. But his Grace tells us there are 510 Roman Catholic chapels in England, while sixty years ago there were only thirty. We wonder there were so many as thirty, for by law there ought not to have been any. But this is an age of innovation. There is a Protestant chapel under the very nose of the j Pope at Rome, and -at Barcelona his Min - less was burnt in effigy only the other day. The law allows Catholics to build Chapels—and we really see no way of preventing the building of such Ch ape l s , but by renewing the penal laws, includin g among others the law passed for catching and cas trating Popish priests. Neither do we see how Catholi cs can b e prose cuted f or buying Protestant chapels, if the Protestants will offer them for sale. But it seems Papists have even the hardihood to be come reporters for public journals ! This may be— afocrtiNnvge never heard of any proprietor of a journal ex any other test from a reporter than his ability to convey a faithful account of what is said in Par liament. Nay, more—we doubt exceedingly whether the Morning Post or the Standard will give one shil ling a week rnore to a reporter with the Thirty-nine Articles than to a Papist. But if the Noble Duke can only prevail on Parliament to build an Inquisition in Smithfield (and a better place cannot be found, now that the cattle market is to:,be transferred to Is lington), Popery may be burnt out in a short time. In the mean time, we fear, as long as steam-boats convey Papists from Ireland to this country, and religious liberty prevails among . us, we must lay our account with Popish chapels and the growth of Popery. We have no other means at present for combating the evil but persuasion. We can exhort Protestants to stand fast, and Papists to come over to our faith ; and if his Grace thinks the Protestant Clergy are lukewarm, he may afford them the aid of his own splendid talents. Their Lordships did not seem to share the Protestant zeal of his Grace, for they even protested against the arduous task he wished to impose on the Protestant parish clergy, of furnishing a return of the Catholics in their respective parishes. We wonder it did not occur to his Grace that the clergy cannot furnish returns of the number Minister, who assured him that if any Polish refugee been forward e d t o R uss i a , i ns t e ad of being* a lowed to go to France, whither that Governmen had allowed them to repair, or elsewhere, it mus have been at the request of these persons themselves' and not by way of punishment. He believed there was no doubt of the fact of these persons having been so sent back. With respect to the quarantine arrunge ments on the Danube, the treaty of Adrianople, which everybody knows was extorted from Turkey, permitted the Russians to establish them ; but that of Vienna, which was the general law of Europe, his Lordship ad mitted was against them. His Lordship, however. con cluded in his usual way, by saying he had no o ffi cial information upon the subject. M r . 'Stewart, under these circumstances, gave notice of a substantial motion, " upon this additional dastardly and wicked act of ag gression on the part of Russia, for the 15th of April." With regard to the negotiations with Portugal, Lord Palmerston stated that they had not made much pro gress. He admitted that the Portuguese Government had shown in the matter the most unfriendly feeling to a reciprocity system, which, if persevered in, must call upon this Government to adopt corresponding mea sures. As respected our relations with Frankfort, and the adhesion of that city to the German Union, the Noble Foreign Secretary, in reply to another question, very coolly observed that it was very true this country entered into a treaty with Frankfort, by one article of which no alteration was to be made in the tariff of duties ; but it having been lately represented that an alteration in the tariff would be advantageous to the Imperial City, the King's Ministers at once aban doned their lien, and Frankfort became a member of the German and anti-British Commercial Union. This last piece 'of information was official, and no doubt must prove satisfactory to all those who take any interest in the well-doing and extension of British commerce. By this passing notice we wish to call attention to the conversation itself, which will be found in our report. The subjects touched upon are of great importance, and we trust will shortly receive a more serious development.—Morning Herald. The greatest mischief-makers in the whole world are fools. Even those whose object and business it is to promote mischievous misunderstandings are not generally half so successful in this way as the bustling brainless creatures who put things wrong without knowing what they arc doing. These are old truths ; but we are reminded of them by the angry scene in the House of Commons on Tuesday night, which, as far as one can judge from the report, seems to have been chiefly owing to the interference of Mr. Bernal, one of the Members for Rochester. We do not, of course, mean to charge that Hon. Gentleman with being utterly a fool ; but we do not think he labours under the suspicion of much wisdom. If ever the day comes when all fools are to be whipped we should not like to be under his cloak, however ample it may be. He has assuredly more of the owl in him than the eagle. We suspect that Lord John Russell felt his stolidity very much on Tuesday night when his sense less allusion to the keen reproaches of Sir R. Vyvyan made it absolutely necessary to discuss these reproaches as a separate matter. Sir Richard plainly charged the Minister with having acted cor ruptly in the selection he had made of town magis trates ; but, as if he had in his eye the race of the fat headed, who are so admirably represented in the House of Commons by Messrs. Hume and Bernal, he took the trouble to explain exactly what he meant in using so strong an epithet. He added to the plain charge we have already quoted this explanation—that he did not shrink from the assertion that any Minister of the Crown who had advised appointments to be made by the Crown, with a view to the advancement of party objects was open to the charge of acting upon corrupt motives. Even the Speaker—who cannot be accused of any want of readiness to interfere when anything reprovable is uttered from the Conservative side of the House—even he was satisfied that nothing requiring his interference had passed ; but not so the sapient and aspiring Chairman of Committees. With blundering haste to show his knowledge and his anxiety for his dear friend, Lord John, he blurts forth all he had learned from the " Parliamentary Pocket Book," and all he felt for the Minister who had been charged • with :corruption. " When a man of integrity and ability," said he, " such as the Hon. Baronet, repre senting a population of 104,000—" here we find in the report a little clash, indicating a pause. We have no doubt that Mr. Bernal's memory failed him, and what he intended to say was this :—" When a man of integrity and ability, such as the Honourable Baronet, representing a population of 104,338, of whom 9,785 are 101. householders, and whose assessed taxes amount, or did amount before the house tax was re pealed, to 33,6411. a year—when such as he attribute corrupt motives to a Minister, he is bound in honour and duty to follow up the charge." We can easily conceive: how Lord John must have writhed with vexation at this most inapt harangue—how he wished Mr. Bernal at Rochester, or at the bottom of one of the Chatham wet docks, or at some place much deeper, and not quite so cold. We can imagine how gladly he wonld have taken his hat, and marched home to bed, after addressing his worthy friend, the Chairman of the Committees, in the last words of Hamlet to Po lonius of Papists without questioning their parishioners as to their religious tenets, and that there is no little risk in thus exposing them to contact with J e suits. If the holders of our rich livings were, in the discharge of this duty, to be converted by the Papists, and abjure the thirty-nine Articles, where should we be ? Morning Chronicle. Lord John Russell, and his scheme of magistrate making under the Municipal " Reform" Bill for Eng land, met with a severe worrying, on Tuesday night, from Sir Robert Peel and Sir Richard Vyvyan. The political justification of Ministers for bringing in that Bill was in a great degree the unfair principle on which, under the old corporation system, the persons administering local justice in cities and towns had been nominated. The charge against the former use of the power of appointment was, that it had been exercised in favour of one political party more than of another ; and that considerable distrust existed, therefore, as to the impartial administration of justice in such com munities. This charge, if well founded, affixed a stain, beyond all question, upon the town magistracy throughout England, and called for an effectual reform, The Municipal Bill of last year professed to apply a reform to such vices, which should prove effectual. As originally framed, the remedy it offered was, to be sure, a little strange. By way of excluding political bias from the choice of magistrates, the authors of the bill declared that the appointment should be by popular election, thus insuring a monopoly of the magisterial bench, and, so far as that could operate, an impunity for crime, to one class only of political sentiments and passions —viz., those of the majority. Of this poi sonous nostrum, it was said by the Conservatives that it was, as we have affirmed of the Irish measure, no remedy at all for the evil complained of,—that it was not the extinction of a wrong, but a transfer of the power to commit it,—that magistrates, instead of being chosen for their supposed attachment to one (that is, the Conservative) party, would thenceforth be named by a clamorous multitude for their known violence in the support of the Whig-Radical party--and therefore that the measure was not national, but factious—a mere vulgar expedient for giving certain Ministers a lift. The objection carried weight with it ; the vi cious principle was got rid of ; the appointment of magistrates was vested in the Crown, but reserving to the town-councils the right of recommending them to the Secretary for the Home Department. How, then, has this measure, after such its amend ment, been worked by the Home Secretary, Lord John Russell ? and what was the accusation brought against his Lordsnip by Sir Robert Peel ? It was simply, that the Noble Lord had violated, in a vast number of instances, the spirit of the Bill so amended, by virtually abdicating the power lodged in the Crown, where it suited his Lordship's party purposes to act implicitly upon the requisitions of the town-councils, and to nominate the justices whom they preferred, but by sedulously resuming and per verting that power where any party object could be promoted, through a flat rejection of the wishes and choice of the town-councils—for instance, when they should happen to recommend to the magistracy gentle men of Conservative opinions. This was in substance the charge of the Member for Tarnworth ; and we will venture to say, that one more unsatisfactorily or im potently met than this has b een by L or d J. Russell, was never yet submitted to any public tribunal. Why, the very answer of the Noble Lord admitted the truth of the accusation. The acknowledged motive for the Municipal Bill was, that the majority of the town magistrates had been men who a„greed with former (Conservative) Administrations. What is the cure, as stated by the Noble Lord himself ? Why, that of the 600 magistrates whom he has appointed, " the majo rity are of liberal" politics —or, in other words, they agree with my Lord John Russell, and are in nume rous cases th 6 creatures and tools of those Members of Parliament on whose support his Lordship's Minis try depends. Here, then, was an extensive measure introduced into Parliament on grounds professing to be public ones, but producing results which are advanta geous only to faction. Even so is it with all the osten sible designs of these hollow-heated " Reformers," and such the concord between their professions and their acts. It is needless for us to analyze the ex amples by which Sir Robert Peel's remonstrance to the Home Secretary was corroborated. In Wigan, Coventry, Leicester, Plymouth, the Whig-Radical majority were indulged by the unfettered choice of congenial magistrates, and of these cases it is needless to say that the most flagrant among them was Coventry. There Mr. Edward Ellice is the patron, and it fol. lows of course that the whole bench of justices, 12 in number, must be of the house of Ellice and Co. In Rochester, where the council was equally divided, but not. equally appreciated by my Lord John Russell, who, on the representation of the Ministerial Member for the city, appointed Whig-Radical justices in the proportion of five to one So—worse and worse— with Guilford and with Bristol. In the former town (the council being Conservative) the Conservatives recommended to the magistracy were, in propor tion to Radicals, nine to three ; but this was not the sort of " public opinion which suited the taste of our Whig Home Secretary, who therefore very coolly, in his choice of magistrates, inverted the ratio of the recommendations by the council, and named three Radicals for one Conservative to the bench. With Bristol, the like impartiality and purity in the choice of the magistrates has been displayed by Lord John Russell. In that great city the council was Conservative, but the majority, in a high and generous spirit, gave way, and agreed that the minority should recommend an equal number of justices with themselves. Twelve names on either side were therefore sent up to ' the Home-office ; and how did his Lordship requite or emulate such liberality ! He appointed six Conserva tives and twelve Whig-Radicals to the bench. These are not surmises or colourings of ours ; they are facts, acknowledged, not defended, not palliated—allowed on all hands throughout the whole of Tuesday's discus sion. But to what a compound of nefarious hypocrisy and sordid quackery do they reduce the pretensions of this precious reforming Administration ? Times. Some questions were put last night to Lord Palmer ston in the House of Commons, upon the subject of our relations, political and commercial, with foreign Powers, which, though the answers were, as usual, vague and uninstructive, cannot be regarded as other wise than of importance, since they show that there are yet Hon. Members alive to what concerns the honour and - interests of the country in these matters. Theseaquestions referred chiefly to the conduct of Rus sia towards Cracow—conduct certainly which cannot be too often exposed, or too generally condemned ; the other and later violation of pledged faith, committed by the same Power in the new quarantine regulations which it is stated to have made at the mouth of the Danube, and the new tariff of duties which Portugal. is concocting, and which it is known will ruin the trade of this country. With aspect to the first, Mr. P. M. Stewart asked whether the Noble Lord could now supply the official information which he had promised at the first asking ?—Whether he had heard anything of some Poles taken at Cracow being selected from the mass of prisoners, and sent by way of especial favour to Siberia ? And lastly, whether it was true that thy, Czar had made the quarantine encroach ments on the Danube, which would in effect close the mouth of that river acrainst the trade with the Black Sea ? Lord Palmerston replied, that not having had any comm un i cat i on w i t h the authorities of Cracow, he could not make any disclosures with respect to its invasions, but that he had conferred with the Russian " Thou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell." But it might not be, after so marked a notice of what had been said, and, to his great discomfort, Lord John had to make a bravado about impeachment, which he knew as well as any man in the House to be perfectly absurd. We need not say that he gained very little by the notice of the matter which hissagacious friend com pelled him to take, much . , as we believe, against his will. Whether Sir R. Vyvyan is perfectly right in consider ing that evident and gross political partiality in the se lection of magistrates must be the result of corrupt mo tives, and ought to be considered corrupt conduct, we shall not, in our innocence, pretend to determine. There is, however, an abstract question, which this debate puts us in mind of, and which we should be "lad that some Whig Professor of casuistry would take the trouble of solving for our information. Sup pose it be admitted, that when a servant of the Crown makes an appointment in right of bis public office, being thereunto moved by a personal advantage, he is justly chargeable with having acted upon corrupt mo tives—supposing this, we say, to be admitted, how far will the self-same charge justly apply to a public ser vant who makes such appointments for the sake of that support which is necessary to his continuance in place, and not for the sake of the fitness of the ap pointee ? We arc very desirous of having the above question well and truly decided by some competent authority. As soon as we obtain 'such a decision, we shall direct our attention to the subject of Sir R. Vy . vyan's charge against Lord J. Russell, and we think we shall then be able to give a clear opinion upon 4. 7 - Morning Post. Information was given on Tuesday to the police of the following robberies committed on Saturday night, while the destructive fire was raging in Bond-street and the Burlington Arcade :—Lord Colville was robbed in Piccadilly of a single cased gold repeating watch, maker's name " Yonge, Strand," to which were attached four seals, one of them with motto— Oublier ne puis, and a baron's coronet ; another, a blood-stone seal, has the coronet and crest, a hind's head. Col. Vachell was robbed, about the same time and place, of a double-cased gold watch, cyphered " J. S. V." on the back, with double gold chain, very small links, and a gold wafer seal. In Bond street Daniel Callaghan, Esq., M.P., was robbed of a small gold watch, made by Yonge, of the Strand, with gold seal and key attached ; and Mr. Thurlow, of Titchfield-street, was robbed of two 5/. Bank of England notes, with the name " James Burn" written on the back; and also two checks drawn in his favour, one on Messrs. Barclay and Co. / and the other on Messrs. Ransom and Co. The importation of live cattle and sheep from the northern parts of Scotland is now carried on to a considerable extent. During the past week a great number of sailing ves sels have arrived from Aberdeen laden with live bullocks, for which, it appears, there is a great demand in Smithfield Mar ket, of Aberdeen, for the and which bring good prices to the Scottish agriculturists.

MY DEAR BARRETT,—I an sincerely glad to see the man ner in which the Newspaper Stamp question is taken up in Ireland. You may rely on our anxious co-operation--and you may, perhaps, blame us for not sooner expressing our sen timents. I can answer, for one, that I would have done so, but I was prevented by the arrangement made by and enforced on the friends of Government, not to lengthen the discussion so as to preclude the important Irish business before the House that evening. I should otherwise have replied to Goulburn, and exposed, as well as I could, the falsity of his principle, and the oppressive nature of his practice. I in tended to do so, but was prevented by the wish so generally ' expressed to go into the other Irish business. For the present, my intentions First—To support Mr. Wakicy's motion for the total abo lition of the stamp duty. The papers to be transmitted free, under a cover stamped with a penny stamp. Thus the stamp would be paid only by persons receiving the newspaper by post—and not by any other person. Should we be defeated on this motion, I intend to divide the House on a motion to lessen the stamp on Irish newspapers to one half of that paid in England. If any thing occurs to your meeting, in which I can be of any use, they may command my service. Believe me to be yours, very sincerely, DANIEL O'CoNNELL. FASHIONS FOR APRIL. (From the Court .Aragazine.) _ GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. The Spring Fashions are as yet very much in retard, but we have reason to believe that their simplicity will present a strong contrast to the magnificence of the winter toilettes. The peign or form will continue in request for half dress, and washing silks and jaconot muslins, both white and printed, will be much in favour. Scarfs are expected to be very generally adopted in out door costume. We have seen some of Cashmere, the pat terns were Turkish, and the colours extremely rich; nothing could be more tasteful than the manner in which they were mingled. For the approaching season, however, we consi der those of white Cashmere edged with Cashmere lace, far preferable, and much more likely to be fashionable. Some pelisses of pou de soie in spring colours, particularly green and lilac, have already appeared, but we do not observe any actual novelty in their form. They are trimmed with swans' down. This delicate fur will, we have reason to believe, continue in favour during the month. The only spring bonnets that have yet appeared, are com posed of pou de soie. Some morning ones are of an extreme simplicity of form : some have the brims close at the sides, others wide, but all are wide over the forehead. There is as yet no decided form ; but we think the majority of those we have seen had the brims rather shorter than those of the winter bonnets. There is something of novelty, too, in the backs of the crowns, which we cannot well describe ; they have neither the curtain of a bonnet, nor the usual form of the crown of a hat. Ecru will be much in request for morning bonnets, and it is likely that in the early part of the season, drawn ones, both of that colour and white, will be very generally adopted. Straw colour, white, pistachio green, and violet of Parma, will be favourite colours for half-dress bonnets. Where these hues are employed, the edge of the brim will be finished by a piping of another colour. We may cite as a pretty contrast a bonnet of white pou de soie, edged with azure blue piping, and ornamented with a bouquet of blue flowers and white roses intermingled. Another very tasteful bonnet of white pou de soie, edged with straw colour ; the crown was deco rated with white lilac, and the interior of the brim trimmed with tufts of small straw-coloured roses, The new evening dresses are principally of gauze, crape, and organdy ; this latter material is indeed carried to a perfec tion that almost rivals gauze in beauty and transparency. We have seen some very pretty robes composed of it, and trimmed with rose or blue satin riband. Three bands of riband descend from the waist on each side of the skirt in the labile). form ; each terminates in a knot at some distance from the bottom. The corsage was draped horizontally, and very deep before and behind. Tight sleeves, ornamented with riband forming chevrons, over which fall a double trimming of organdy, edged with narrow riband : a similar trimming was disposed at the bottom in the ruffle style, and looped over the bend of the arm by a knot of riband. Some gauze robes are made with flounces. As the skirts have lost nothing of their preposterous width, we cannot con sider this kind of trimming graceful; however, the effect is not so bad on gauze as it would be on more heavy materials. We have seen some trimmed with two flounces cut bias, and set on double ; they are placed one above another in such a manner that the extremity of the one just touched the top of the other. The upper one is usually looped at the side by a full knot of riband with floating ends, or by a bouquet of flowers. A good many robes are trimmed round the border, with a single flounce only, with the beading lightly festooned in silks ; this style appears to us both lighter and prettier. Although the majority of sleeves in evening dress are tight, yet they are in many instances trimmed at the upper part either with lace or the material of the dress, and invariably terminated by ruffles: this gives some degree of fullness, as well as a very dressy look, to the sleeve. We see also some tight sleeves covered with three or four rows of trimming fall ing one over the other ; the trimming is set on with moderate fulness : this kind of sleeve is generally made only to those robes that have the border trimmed with flounces. Small hats and turbans have as yet lost nothing of their vogue in evening dress. The most remarkable among the former are the chapeaux pouf}; they still continue to be made in velvet, and trimmed with white feathers ; but being just introduced, and of a singularly-becoming form, they will, we understand, be made in crape, and most probably continue in favour during the summer. Wreath of artificial flowers will be very fashionable for bead-dresses of hair ; some of new forms are about to be introduced. The colours most in request will be those we have already given for hats and bonnets—dust colour, pearl grey, lilac, and rose. White lilac and very pale rose are expected to be most in favour in even ing dress. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS ENTERED INWARDS AT THII CUS- TOM-HOUSE, Ainxcti 30.

A HEROINE OF THE BARRICADES.--A young woman, with dark eyes, and a countenance full of expression, but unfortunately dragging after her a wooden leg, made her appearance in the Sixth Court, at Paris, on a recent occasion. The name of the lady was Catherine Barbe Telliere, and her dismantled aspect was owing to a shot which carried off her leg, on the '29th of July, 1830, while in the act of defending one of the barricades, musket in hand. Madame Barba Tel lier received the cross of July, and a pension of 1,100 francs; but these rewards were insufficient to restore her what she had lost. It will be asked what misfortune brought such a heroine before the Police ? The fact is, this modern Amazon was married, but, unmindful of her vow, neglected her husband— who, by the way, was in the habit of beating her like a sack— and bestowed her affection. on another. The facts being proved, the fair lady, who combined in her person the attri butes of Venus and Mars, was found gyilty, and with her ac complice condemned to eight months' imprisonment, a sentence which excited the universal commisseration of the auditory. THE STOCKPORT HEN.—We have had several in quiries about the health of the hen that swallowed the mouse near Stockport.
